Nintendo will start a new gaming campaign in North America and Japan that will reward gamers for buying Nintendo stuff. Nintendo\'s new scheme is called Club Nintendo and will start later this year, reportedly by December. The way it works: you buy Nintendo stuff to earn points toward more Nintendo stuff, most likely things like Nintendo-branded belly packs or Ty the Tasmanian Tiger. 
Paramount execs, and indeed all denziens of Hollywood included, placed a collective blame on Eidos and the apparent shittiness of Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. \"The only thing we can attribute [poor ticket sales] to is that the gamers were not happy with the latest version of the \'Tomb Raider\' video game, which is our core audience,\" Paramount distribution president Wayne Lewellen said. \"Now I can\'t fucking get that new yacht.\" 
In an insidious marketing ploy you'd almost expect to be authored by Activision, Eidos will be hanging up life-size Lara Crofts in swimsuits throughout showers in fitness halls and gyms. So now you can shower while a CG chick made up of 18 polygons stares at you with her breasts. Naturally, most gaming nerds frequent gyms, so this must be the most elaborate and effective campaign ever! 
Acclaim CEO Rod Cousens was recently quoted: "Why are we to develop games for platforms that do not supply appropriate yields? We still support PS2 and Xbox, but Nintendo? No, not in the foreseeable future." Woe! Anguish! Outrage! Acclaim still has a few GCN titles on track, including Legends Of Wrestling III, Urban Freestyle Soccer, and XGRA, however, Gamecube owners will be wholeheartedly deprived of Alias, NBA JAM 2004, and Gladiator. 
A Hong-Kong based manufacturer is producing a portable version of Sega's discontinued Dreamcast console, featuring a built in LCD monitor and speakers [...] The system, sold under the name Treamcast, is packaged in a heavily redesigned casing, and features modified onboard software which plays MP3s and VideoCDs as well as original Dreamcast games. 
Nintendo communications director Yasuhiro Minagawa has gone on record to pull a few Yamauchis, and has left Microsoft, Sony, Nokia, and even Sega in his wake, as if emanating from hell as Satan, or Hiroshi Yamauchi himself. You go girl. 
It seems that all 1.1 million of us who have purchased Game Boy Advance SPs recently have made a terrible, terrible mistake. According to Nokia, our Game Boys are for use specifically by "10 year olds," a detail Nintendo apparently forgot to leave out for the past 14 years of marketing the Game Boy. Nokia, however, promises to cure our socially unacceptable gaming woes with the 
Hideo Kojima's crazy solar-charged videogame concept will reportedly be coming in one pack with the GBA SP, further outlining Nintendo's aspirations to be buddies with other game creators. A previous noteworthy bundle would be the GBA SP's launch in Japan, which came with

Eric Rollman, formerly executive of Fox Family Channel and Saban Entertainment, is on a mission to equate gaming with real sports and gamers with real athletes through the creation of the "Global Gaming League." Says Rollman: "With more than 145 million players, this is arguably one of the most popular sports on the planet." The GGL will sign aspiring gamer-athletes to compete in "V-Sports." Unfounded speculation by Paul suggests that one of the "V-Sports" will involve hot teenage Japanese girls playing DDR. 
Nintendo has announced that North American gamers will soon have two more Game Boy Advance SP colors to choose from, a bestowal to the gaming public for 1.1 million SP units bought since the system's release just ten weeks ago. 
Nintendo has revealed that gamers can now purchase a Gamecube for $199.99 (Canadian), a $30 price cut. In addition, those who purchase a Gamecube will still receive one of Nintendo's promotional titles for free, which are: Zelda, Metroid, Mario Party, or Starfox. Go Canada!

Capcom's digital sentai hero Viewtiful Joe has been tearing up the Japanese independent professional wrestling world.

As a company now seemingly interested in blowing everyone's minds with crazy new announcements, Sony revealed the PlaystationX today (effectively making everyone's use of the PSX acronym to describe the original Playstation useless) - a console not to be targeted for the videogame industry, nor to be published by SCE. The unit will integrate games, music, and movies by building on PS2 technology and coming with a DVD writer and 120gb disk drive, along with the ability to download media from the internet. Currently the system is set for a release in Asia late this year, with its arrival in NA and Europe early 2004. Page 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
